The Resilience Mentor
We believe that resilience isn't just something you're born with—it's a skill you can learn, practice, and grow. That’s where Everyday Bushcraft comes in.
By teaching five core bushcraft skills—Self-Aid, Knots, Shelter, Fire, and Water Purification—we help children, teens, adults, and families build confidence in the outdoors and bring the same calm, capability, and clarity back into everyday life.
Whether you're lacing up your boots for a day in the bush or navigating challenges at home, our programs give you tools to stay grounded, solve problems, work together, and build a stronger sense of inner resilience.
Bushcraft builds skills. Resilience builds lives.
Foundations of
Resilient Living
We've recently set up a dedicated Skool community to support and expand the learning outcomes for our Everyday Bushcraft courses.
This online space gives participants a place to connect, ask questions, share their progress, and deepen their understanding of the five core skills. It’s a hub for ongoing learning—where videos, resources, challenges, and discussions continue long after the course has finished.
By joining the community, learners not only stay engaged but also become part of a supportive group of like-minded people committed to resilience, confidence, and everyday practical skills.
